Exempt students from the effects imposed against corrupt President of Students' Gymkhana

We final year B. tech students​ ( batch 2013-2017) from NIT Durgapur would like to bring to your notice that during our annual college fest (Recstacy) an excess amount of Rs.12 lakhs was used up by the student Gymkhana without any proper reason behind the expenditure.

It is brought to our notice that the President of Student Gymkhana excluded the 3rd year elected members from the core group and there was also non-transparency in different important issues.

It was then notified that due to this extra expenses from the students,Gymkhana, all the final year students are debarred from receiving the caution fee that we had deposited. We feel this to be unjust and we stand against the decision.

We would like to state that the President didn't even win with a clear majority. Many voters were absent on the day. Also, there was a technical glitch in the software during the elections.An appeal for re-elections was made but it was turned down by the concerned authorities.The president won very marginally (around 69 votes). Under such circumstances, the election results were declared final. However thereafter it was the responsibility of the concerned students and the authorities to successfully conduct a students’ fest and take all the responsibility thereafter.

So, we believe there are no grounds on which such a fine should be imposed on all the students who had no role to play in such serious discrepancy that has surfaced. We earnestly request you to probe into the matter and take the actions necessary against such careless demeanor.
